You gotta swing by and say hey to me next time bros! I know I've been a little M.I.A. on here lately but I became the Brand manager for Axis Labs and do all our graphics/product formulation/event coordination/social media marketing/ blah blah blah but Imma start trying to get you guys inside pictures on events and woot not now that I have that access!
If any of you guys are at the 2013 Olympia this year, swing by and say what up! Just tell me your user name and I'll know who you are haha.
P.S. Anyone interested in maybe doing something like an IFBB section members T-Shirt exclusive thing? I can create some concepts in a thread when I get home and talk to some friends of mine to screen the shirts myself ... They wouldn't be cheap Hanes heavyweight T's either but those nice Spandex/Cotton/Poly blend ones ... Just let me know!
Any ways, here are some pics and stories from the 2013 Dallas Europa
Our new Company colors and design ... Still can't believe the owner went along with my graphic suggestion but its a dang good looking combo!
This Kid is only 19 years old ... Jeremy Hobbs if I recall correctly. Took first and overall. Dudes got a bright future!
Been working on a new drawing ... this time its DLB. I understand they get sick of being harassed and asked the same questions non stop so I didn't wanna bother them but they happened to be staying at the same hotel as everyone else so I ate dinner right next to them haha. I tried to let Dana rest but I chatted with Rob for a bit and gunna get the photo finished and passed to him at the Olympia. Robs one of those dudes you wish was your friend ... just a cool pair to hang out and BS with.
THERES MORE TO COME My coworker (VP of sales) is sending me more pics from his phone right now but the Wifi in the dallas airport is a little slow so I'll upload more pics once I get em!

Thanks man ... Been discussing FIBO so I might be needing someone to help me man the booth if we go!
.... Or lack of stories at all so far LOL not sure how to feel but thank you none-the-less
Chatted with Zach for a bit before the crowds could get to him. Didn't get to see him compete but I saw the final results. Regardless, I was happy to talk to him and even more happy he didn't mind chatting my ear off. He's a good dude for sure!
Makin our booth look jooooosey ... and I can actually pose ... Have no clue what happened with this photo though? haha
A cool physique competitor stopped by and got him to snap a couple pics in our booth. I gotta say (given the depletion and mental stress) everyone was really happy and didn't mind hangin out!
Just me doin work ... Thinking about opening up a smaller section of the booth to conduct ingredient seminars (regardless of brand) to help the new folk learn a little bit more about all the great stuff out there. I geek out over the chemistry/science behind everything so I get carried away sometime.

Waiting at the airport for my flight hasn't been to bad. Rudy, Delarosa and a few top tier IFBB womens physique competitors were kind of enough to hang out and kick for a bit.
Rudy Richards is a total stud ... one of those guys who doesn't mind me chattin his ear off. Same with Delarosa .... He's looking huge brahs!
I won't lie though. I havent slept in 2.5 days and I accidentally asked if he was kevin english (when I fully meant Rudy haha) ... I also had no clue Delarosa was sitting right in front of me and after he introduced himself, the name didn't even click until 5 mins later in mid-convo. Not doing us proud right now brahs (ineedsleep.JPEG)

LOL Tim, any event I'm at and you happen to be there ... you will be guaranteed a position!
Thank you sir! I'm super swamped with work but I am looking to make an aggressive return and generate a lot more drawings (and hopefully get autographed by the athlete). Link me the thread bro! You draw to???
This has been pretty fun "documenting" the trip (still feels like a dream) but next time at the Olympia, it will be much more thorough and I'll be sure to get more behind the scenes content! We just got a super nice $8,000 DSLR cam to get pics with instead of using our cell phone cams so hopefully the quality of content increases as well.IFBB Pro Graphic Design Photoshop Ninja

I'm excited to see what he brings in the future ... That guys has "mass with sass" ...
srsly though, this whole trip has been a complete accident of bumping in to (insert pro competitor name here) in the most random settings/situations. Dallas Europa is now on my radar as the next best place to go (aside from Olympia). Crowds aren't crazy, people are polite and very easy going, ton and tons AND TONS of alternative events to enjoy.IFBB Pro Graphic Design Photoshop Ninja

I'll have to catch you next year.
The Europa was a blast - I was amazed at how down-to-earth everyone was.
Glad to see Zack Khan have a good showing (6th) after such a long layoff/injury.#Mensan
